Pours a cloudy hazy gold with a small white head and modest lacing.
The nose is simple but well integrated. Non-descript, slightly sweet malts, butterscotch, and spicy citrus hops.
Caramel sweetness and raw graininess are the immediate flavors. There is a slight sourness mid palate that quickly gives way to earthy hop bitterness and a hint of lemon. The bitterness lingers and the dreaded skunk sets in. As it warms the skunkiness becomes more prominent and lingers longer.
Medium-light bodied with quite a bit of carbonation.
Smooth and refreshing, modestly complex but well meshed. This would be an extremely enjoyable beer if not for the skunkiness. What's with the green bottles? The first time I tried this I knew the bottle was old so I didn't rate it, but I've been told that this is a fresh bottle and the skunk is still there.

Phenomenal English Ale that is light and hoppy in flavor and unbelievably refreshing.
Has a bright color and a slight head to it, with very light lacing around the glass. Indicative of the lighter and flavors of the beer.
Smell is strong of hops and grain, light in alcohol.
Excellent taste - hopped, with notes of grain and biscuit, very little bitterness as the oatmeal flavors tend to round out anything really strong. Has the perfect carbonation to allow all the flavor to come through, without sticking around too long.
Feel is excellent as the beer has a perfect texture, and a well rounded viscosity. Very thin like a lager, with more foam and carbonation to match the slightly more bitter flavors.
Would highly recommend as a beer for drinking on a hot summer afternoon, or a cold evening with whiskey.
